Alternate History Sports / AltLB - 2023 Season

Now that's more like it. The Atoms returned to their strong form, and more importantly, didn't have to play the top-scoring team that week, as we pick up win #11 to stay clear of the rest of the league for at least seven more days. We stay on the road this week, and we're flying all the way back across the continent to visit the Los Angeles Condors for the first time in the modern era. LA had two more TOTWers than we did last week, so this could be a tough matchup, but hopefully reliever Paul Sewald will have another chance to earn a save or three. #BetOnIt #UpAndAtom #LVvsLA

Happy Fourth everyone! Hope you get to spend some time with family and friends and good food. As we make our way to the Midsummer Classic I wanted to drop stuff for this year's AltLB All Star Game. The American League will wear home white and the National League will wear the dark blue. The uniforms are inspired by the Turtles uniforms (hence no gray).

The All Star team were determined by the players with the most fantasy points at their position at the time I pulled them earlier this week. The rule was that every team needed to have an all star.

Coming out of week 14, we head to the All-Star break! For those with players in the game, enjoy watching your players! For those without, enjoy your break. Here's some Power Rankings!

And our final Team of the Week before the All-Star break didn't have any huge surprises. Mookie Betts joins the 4 times club. Elly De La Cruz got called up three weeks ago and has been on the team of the week twice. We went from having three Spencers on the team to no Spencers. But we do have two Franciscos.

It was a good week for the Bison. We led the league in scoring with Manny Machado pacing the league in scoring. The Turtles lost leaving only the Thunderbirds and Bison on top of the AL, as we welcome the Turtles to Oklahoma City. The Turtles beat us by just a dozen back in Week 7, which was also our last loss, so we're looking to pull out the win in our ballpark and make sure we can retain at least a tie for the league lead. We're at home and going with the standard cream uniforms in this one, and leading the way for us in this one was SS/DH Willy Adames, who had a jolt of power with 4 Home Runs for us last week. #WeAreOK

We took a bit of a scare against LA but rallied late to pull out another dub going into the All-Star break. The Atoms are heading to Tampa Bay this week - we don't have a game there, but we're gonna watch Ozzie and Félix play in the All-Star Game before we pop across the Straits of Florida to the island of Cuba. We'll hope to break out the celebratory cigars after the long week (metaphorically speaking. Cigar smoke is bad for your health) and start off the second half the same way we ended the first. Hopefully it will also feature starter Joe Musgrove striking out 18 batters in 13 innings and giving up just one earned run. #BetOnIt #UpAndAtom #LVvsHAV

Well... this is how I've done it all season, because when I look at the individual games and pull stats, I don't get all the positions of eligibility. So it is what it is.

We come out of the All-Star break with some pretty solid matches, and I see a lot of the teams expected to win pulling out the wins, along with the Bison getting a crucial win over the Turtles and the Masons keeping their playoff hopes alive with their win over the Griffins.

Team of the week! Some familiar names on this one with Shohei Ohtani locking up the Utility position, as well as top hitter Freddie Freeman. Also, for the first time this season, a relief pitcher was the top scoring pitcher on the week, as "The Mountain" Felix Bautista locked up the top spot.
